'He'll tear your soul apart.'
I wasn't really familiar with the Hellraiser series until heading out on the hunt for this years crop of Horror Hunks. I had seen, and checked out a scene featuring actor Keven Bernhardt from Hellraiser III, but the sex scene offered little to no actual nudity. A little digging though had me uncover a quick or you'll miss it frontal from the original 1987 film that launched the franchise.
'The film involves the resurrection of Frank (Sean Chapman), who had opened the door to an alternate dimension and had his body torn to pieces by creatures known as Cenobites. Years later, Frank's brother Larry (Andrew Robinson) moves into their late mother's abandoned house with new wife Julia (Clare Higgins). An accident causes some of Larry's blood to spill on the attic floor, which triggers Frank's resurrection.'
English actor Sean Chapman has starred on film and on television in both the UK and the US since the late 1970's. Some of his roles include stints on Emmerdale, Peak Practice, French & Saunders, Midsomer Murders and Casualty. Chapman's also appeared on stage include: Hamlet (Royal Exchange), Pride and Prejudice (Leicester Haymarket) in the 1980's and leading roles at the National Theatre productions of Angels in America (1992), Rutherford and Son (1995), Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards (1999).
His frontal flash in Hellraiser occurs near the beginning of the film, and without the help of a pause button, would be easily missed. If you check out the clip below beware... There's no death or gore in the scene, but there is little blood when a hand hits a nail. It has me wince every time.
